Still hard to believe that you had to leave us all so soon!! Danny, you are a great & loving friend to me.. You always had a smile & a "Hey Love" every time I saw you.. Since the first day I came to ATI in Richburg, you and I had an instant bond. Our paths led us both to work in Monroe, where you truly made an impact in my life. Always so kind & truthful.. I appreciate & value the friendship that grew between us. Thank you for all the words of wisdom, advice & many laughs! I wish nothing but happiness & strength for your family. Miss & love you always...
